Things will be same as before once chappris comes back to make reels here.
Only around 15% of Bangalore goes swimming every time it rains. 100% of them are “new settlers” in “new areas”. 85% of Bangalore remains unaffected due to rains.maybe the solution is no longer in political domain.
was just checking BBMP annual revenue, it's just about 10,000 crores. not at all sufficient to find any meaningful engineering solution.
relaying sections of mumbai roads with one foot concrete at the bottom cost more than 30 thousand crores and three years time. BMC revenue is around 30 thousand crores.
obviously infra already created cannot be removed.Only around 15% of Bangalore goes swimming every time it rains. 100% of them are “new settlers” in “new areas”. 85% of Bangalore remains unaffected due to rains.
No amount of municipal largese will fix this mess. Reason being the mess was largely intentional. A quick glance at Bangalore’s topography map shows the reason.
When real estate businesses needed large land parcels for mega IT parks and super duper gated communities, they found only the lake beds suitable. Promptly went about killing lakes and putting up grand structures on them. All with govt cooperation.
Need strong political will to do what you have correctly pointed out. Something KA administrators have repeatedly found lacking in. Hence mr.Pai’s shoutout to the Vishwaguru found resonance.obviously infra already created cannot be removed.
next best thing is focussing on the solution rather than focussing on the past, solution can be as simple as storm water drain under the existing roads of this 15 % area to the lakes, and another line to evacuate the water from the lake outside of bangalore. bangalore is an elevated city.
i think nitin gadkari is coming to bangalore this week for meeting on infa structure. bangaloreans should utilise this opportunity to give a representation to the central minister, but also make sure contradictory requirements are not put forth. SM outrage has limited utility.
EC1 was set up by KEONICS in the 70s. The days of proper planning. Topography of EC1 and EC2 will show them being highlands.Electronic City in Bengaluru is India’s first IT hub. Almost 35 years old. No flooding, no water logging here. Excellent civic amenities management by autonomous ELCITA. Perhaps the only dry IT area in entire city. So-called IT corridor built in the last 25 years is under water.
public representation to govt is also a powerful tool, when correctly utilised. if and when public consultations happen, public has to participate, or else elites will hijack the agenda.Need strong political will to do what you have correctly pointed out.

Fun fact - the “new settlers” - the “100% swimmers when it rains” - firmly believe as long as they e-pay their taxes, they are entitled to hema malini cheek-like roads. Come elections, 99% of this set go for trips in their shiny SUVs. Zero local participation.public representation to govt is also a powerful tool, when correctly utilised. if and when public consultations happen, public has to participate, or else elites will hijack the agenda.
i know, i was one of them. pretty sure, my old apartment is also flooded.Fun fact - the “new settlers” - the “100% swimmers when it rains” - firmly believe as long as they e-pay their taxes, they are entitled to hema malini cheek-like roads.

Its the rest 85% unaffected junta who have local connection and at the very least are aware of who their ward corporator is.
Peculiar paradox!
LOL. Thus proved.i know, i was one of them. pretty sure, my old apartment is also flooded.
Only few parts of Bangalore were flooded. The elites made it like whole BG got flooded.Fun fact - the “new settlers” - the “100% swimmers when it rains” - firmly believe as long as they e-pay their taxes, they are entitled to hema malini cheek-like roads.

Karnataka assembly election.Only few parts of Bangalore were flooded. The elites made it like whole BG got flooded.
The same date there was a big concert in another part of BG where more than 10K people took part.
